Welcome to eMediaSales - where technology and innovation come first. In the general web hosting field where $9.99/year hosting accounts can be found, differentiating your company from the competition can be tough. Small to large web hosts are a dime a dozen. With the advent of direct Miva Merchant engine technology built into control panels, anyone with a Plesk license and a leased server can claim to be an expert e-commerce host! So what sets us apart from the crowd and why do we charge more? We believe you get what you pay for!

A Unique Value Proposition - Dedicated Server to Cluster Fail Over!

Our e-commerce clients place extraordinary trust in us - and their businesses rely on their servers being online 24x7. But servers, memory and hard drives DO FAIL. The difference in dedicated hosting and High Availability is the network's automatic capability to carry on, without any particular single node including YOUR DEDICATED SERVER. All of our High Availability dedicated server nodes are backed up the the remainder of ALL of our shared hosting cluster nodes.

This means that if your dedicated server node fails, your website stays up! Failure is automatically detected and all traffic is automatically routed to the remaining nodes in the cluster. And we're not using "virtualization" technology to move you to another potentially lower-power node. Every node immediately handles your web traffic!

Enterprise Grade Technology

We focus on business class accounts that rely on their website to produce revenue for the company. If you're looking for a personal website outside of the niches we service, we might not be the right company for you. And that's fair - GoDaddy has some excellent low cost hosting plans. But if you are serious about e-commerce and business class hosting then you should consider eMediaSales.

High Availability Hosting

We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in R&D and hardware to bring you the most advanced high availability e-commerce enabled hosting environment available. The foundation technologies for our HA network include:

• Server co-location in a SAS-70 certified data center
• Performance routed bandwidth from 7 Tier 1 network providers
• Redundant 100Mbps HSRP data connectivity to two different provider switches
• Dual Active/Standby Load Balancing Firewall Routers cross connected to both HSRP connections
• A 6TB EMC enterprise class Fibre Channel RAID Array storage foundation with expansion of up to 20TB more!
• Oracle's OCFS2 Clustered File System feeding all Cluster Nodes
• A unique web server cluster based on Apache2/Linux/PHP/MySQL and CentOS with node monitoring and load balancing
• Dedicated and semi-dedicated nodes with automatic fail-over plus load balancing capability
• Load balancing of ALL shared hosting accounts across the cluster (excluding dedicated nodes)
• Custom, in-house developed Jailed suExec, SSH and FTP to protect your privacy from our other clients
• A back-end fire-walled dedicated MySQL server node with 8 Xeon cores, 8GB RAM and RAID storage
• Real Miva Merchant Expertise - checkout our company bios!

No Virtualization Here

While we understand why and how many hosting providers are moving to virtualization technologies such as Zen and VMWare, we have chosen a different route for a specific reason. Virtualized server containers come with inherent limits - the amount of CPU, memory and physical servers they can run on. We believe our approach - a true cluster technology - provides significant benefits over virtualization including:

• No artificial run-time resource limitations on your application.
• Immediate and automatic load-balancing and scaling to the entire cluster.
• Failure of any single node doesn't require "moving" a VMWare image, rebooting that image, etc.
• Your website, even those who have purchased dedicated nodes, already runs on all servers in our cluster.
• Instant scalability and on-the-fly capacity increases are possible.

In short, we believe we have built the most technically advanced e-commerce hosting network available. Give us a try - you'll really like the results!
